"I'm looking forward to (free agency), but at the same time, I want it to be over," Williams said. "I'm hoping me and Sacramento come to a good deal for a couple a years and just take it from there. At the end of the day, you want to be wanted."

The Kings will extend the qualifying offer to Jason Thompson to make him a restricted free agent.

Thompson would receive a salary of approximately $4.1 million if he ends up accepting if he doesn't sign a multi-year offer.

Sacramento is most likely to keep Thompson out of their 2012 free agent lot.

Donte Green and Terrence Williams will also be free agents.

"I can't predict the future, but for now it's clear they want me to stay here," Thompson said.

Thompson began the season behind Chuck Hayes and J.J. Hickson on the depth chart, but his consistency eventually won him the job.

"Who knew what would have happened at the start of the season?" Thompson said. "Us signing Chuck, trading for J.J., having Cuz (DeMarcus Cousins) already on the team and maybe re-signing Sammy (Dalembert), and all that type of stuff. … I never put my head down and never tried to let it show on the court. I just tried to go out there with an open mind and be solid."

Deron Williams said putting himself in the best opportunity to win will be his top priority in free agency.

“I want to win, that’s first and foremost,’’ said Williams. “So I’m going to go where I feel we have the best chance to win. I know we might not win a championship in the first year or two, but hopefully, (the place I go) has the chances of building something special, and has flexibility — just somewhere where I believe they’re headed in the right direction.’’

Williams will consider re-signing with the Nets ahead of their move to Brooklyn.

“I’m still looking at all the possibilities here,’’ he said. “I went to the arena a couple days ago and saw how it was, and it’s going to be an exciting arena. It’s going to be a great place to play. And I’ve always been confident in this organization. Even though I was opting out I always said that doesn’t mean I’m not re-signing with the Nets; and that still remains the same.’’

Training for Team USA begins July 6 while free agency starts on July 1. Williams hopes to make his decision by the time he leaves.

Brook Lopez's preference is to remain with the Nets as he enters restricted free agency.

Lopez missed most of the season due to injury while also being included in Dwight Howard trade rumors.

“This is really the place I want to be,” he said. “I was drafted here ... I love being a Net. It's the only thing I know. I like everyone in the organization. I have good friends here. I've enjoyed my time in this area, and would have no objections at all to continuing to be here.”

Gerald Wallace has a player option worth $9.5 million for the 12-13 season, but he suggested that he plans to opt out to sign a four or five-year deal.

Wallace said the idea of playing in Brooklyn is appealing.

“It does,” Wallace said. “I was a part of Charlotte [Bobcats] when they first got started. Just the buzz and the atmosphere from the community around that was amazing. Brooklyn has never had a team. I can just imagine how excited and all of the buzz that's going to be around that situation."

The Nets acquired Wallace in exchange for their 2012 first round pick (top-3 protected), along with Mehmet Okur and Shawne Williams.

Williams remains interested in making the move with the Nets to Brooklyn.

"Yeah, definitely, it would be great to be a part of that first game, that first team there," Williams said, "kind of start our own legacy in Brooklyn. So that's definitely enticing. That's definitely something I think about on a regular basis."

Marcus Camby will have no shortage of suitors as an unrestricted free agent.

Camby is targeting a return to the Rockets.

“I would like to be here, but I understand the NBA is a business,” Camby said. “A lot of suitors are going to be trying to reach out. This is where I want to be. So hopefully, we can make something work.”
